[horde] Apache Configuration, .htaccess - RewriteEngine not allowed here

[Simon Brereton]

Hi

I'm trying to set up the new version of Horde, and although I've copied over my apache config exactly as the old one I'm getting an error after I install Horde 4 (through PEAR) and go to the URL to set it up.

Basically, the browser returns a 500 Error.

The Error log has:


[Fri Sep 02 22:33:38 2011] [alert] [client 38.104.167.6] /usr/share/horde4/.htaccess: RewriteEngine not allowed here

The contents of that .htaccess are:

  1 allow from all
  2
  3 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  4     RewriteEngine On
  5     RewriteCond   %{REQUEST_FILENAME}  !-d
  6     RewriteCond   %{REQUEST_FILENAME}  !-f
  7     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ rampage.php [QSA,L]
  8 </IfModule>


I didn't put that there - I'm not even sure what rampage.php does (except call some Horde classes).

My virtual host looks like:

 16 <VirtualHost *:80>
 17         ServerAdmin root at domain1.co.uk
 18         DocumentRoot /usr/share/horde4
 19         ServerName webmail.domain.net
 20         ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/logs/domain-webmail-error_log
 21         CustomLog /var/log/apache2/logs/domain-webmail-access_log common
 22         Alias /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync /usr/share/horde4/rpc.php
 23 #       RewriteEngine on
 24 #       RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
 25 #       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [L,R]
 26 #       RewriteLog "/var/log/apache2/logs/rewrite.log"
 27 #       RewriteLogLevel 2
 28 <Directory /usr/share/horde4>
 29         AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
 30         Options +ExecCGI
 31 <Files ~ "\.(inc|bak)$">
 32         deny from all
 33 </Files>
 34 </Directory>
 35 </VirtualHost>

I haven't turned on the HTTPS force yet - which is why it's commented out.

What did I do wrong, and how do I fix it? :)

Thanks!

Simon
